According to ZYMiZ , "this excercise is happening country wide but this video was captured in Guruve North, Nyangavi Centre."

"Fear is engulfing local communities especially with threats by Zanu-PF through their political commissar (RUGEJE)- threatening a repeat of 2008 bloody elections as quoted in a local newspaper.
"While this year elections may not be bloody - Zanu PF is already exploiting this fear factor to manipulate potential voters using both traditional & party structures.
"#ZYMiZ and many civic organisations have been reporting these incidences happening countrywide but little or no action is taken by #ZEC."
